Hi Jeff, 

I was looking at URL http://mapserver.org/ogc/wms_server.html  ...

They seem to refer to the same version but the information is not the
same as in the URL you provided.
I am using MapServer 5.2 with WMS 1.1.1 but I think the same tags should
work since they are defined in WMS 1.1.1 dtd as well.

Thanks Jeff,
(from a beautiful sunny day on Upper Canada)

Hello,

I believe what you are looking for is available in MapServer 6.0 
(described in the development version of the WMS Server doc: 
http://www.mapserver.org/trunk/ogc/wms_server.html#reference-section)

I think the metadata tags you need with MapServer 6.0 are:
   - wms_authorityurl_name,
   - wms_authorityurl_href
   - wms_identifier_authority
   - wms_identifier_value

Hi MapServer Users,

As in previous year, the selection process of the FOSS4G 2011 conference

program will be based (in part) on review and votes from the community:

   http://community-review.foss4g.org/

There are lots of very interesting proposals, including a good number of

MapServer related ones. This is your chance to make sure your favorite 
topics will make it in the program, and hopefully to help ensure 
MapServer is also well reprensented in the program (better than in 
previous years).

There are only two days left, the community review period ends on Sunday

May 8th. I encourage you to take a few minutes to review the proposals 
and vote now:

   http://community-review.foss4g.org/

Subject: [mapserver-users] Reference Map must be a GIF????
To: <mapserver-users at lists.osgeo.org>
Message-ID: <19649158A79349CBAF50B5EF45C2F375 at Worthlaptop>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

When did the restriction, "the Reference Map base image must be a .gif",
start being enforced?

I now see it in my old printed copy (version 5.2) of the documentation.
I
checked there to see if this was new to MapServer version 6 as I found
it
first in the online documentation.  Obviously I had never read the
documentation closely in this area.

All my reference maps are "png" drawn with Mapserver (aggpng I think)
and
work in version 5.6.

When my try/catch throws an exception trying to draw this reference map,
the
exception message is an empty string.

Through testing and looking at the apache logs, I find that there are
MapServer Errors in the MapServer errorObj and PHP Notices and Warning.
These are:

[Mapserver Error] msDrawREferenceMap() : error loading reference image
/data/mapfiles/ref_maps/. 

[MapServer Error] readImage(): unsupported pixmap format/n in .

Is this truly a change in the image type restriction for Reference Maps
or
is it just an change in the checking for errors when the
MapScriptException
was added?

Was I just lucky my ".png" reference maps worked in the past?  Am I the
only
one to try this?  I don't have many to convert but wanted to point this
out
so it could be added to the Migration Guide if it must remain a
restriction.
